The concerns mentioned by @SteveFDA are exactly why I called for a hearing on the Strategic National Stockpile back in May. Congress needs to put in the work to best learn how to protect the domestic medical supply chain. — PolitiTweet.org

Around 9.7 million students lack a high-speed broadband connection for virtual learning. I was pleased to hear about “K-12 Bridge to Broadband” by @NCTAitv & @EdSuperHighway. It will connect students w/ schools so they won’t be left behind. #ConnectedEd https://t.co/5DeVcBcPiF — PolitiTweet.org

The anxiety, unemployment, isolation and illness of this pandemic have left many at risk for mental illness or suicidal thoughts. On this World Suicide Prevention Day, we must remember that we can each help prevent suicide by caring for one another. https://t.co/a29XWsm6Ei — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time that schools had the best knowledge & resources for behavioral intervention services. The @HouseCommerce passed the @RepDrewFerguson BIG Act which will promote school safety & mental health among students. I am an original cosponsor of this bill. https://t.co/zD1pBN8n2G — PolitiTweet.org

In 2018, Congress passed the SUPPORT Act to combat the opioid crisis. This year we have seen increasing substance use disorder with the pandemic. It is vital that Congress remember its oversight function so we can continue to address the effect of opioids. https://t.co/Cc2lgR6z1H — PolitiTweet.org

Providing mental health support to our health care workers during this pandemic is paramount.
